Pumpkins

We finally had time to carve pumpkins two days before Halloween. Callie and Josh were really into carving their pumpkins. Callie carved a face on the front and her name on the back. Josh had lots of fun digging out the guts. Megan was grossed out by the process and gave up.

New Driveway

We got our new driveway yesterday, but we can't use it for fivc days. We have to drive around it and just admire it.

New Road

We have the first layer of road down in front of our house. They were not able to do the whole road today due to the rain. The rest of the project may be delayed until the rain lets up and there is a lot of rain in the forecast.

Callie's Field Trip

Callie's class field trip was to Fredrick Meijer Gardens. As part of the visit, they visited a farm and participated in chores such as pumping water, hanging the laundry, and buying food.

It was a very wet day, but they still had a lot of fun!

Enjoying the Leaves!

Megan's Field Trip

Today was Megan's first Kindergarten field trip. We went to an apple orchard that we thought was in Otsego and turned out to be in Oshtemo which is quite a bit farther away. The bus ride went better then expected for a bus full of 5 and 6 year olds.

We had lunch, played games, went on a hay ride, and toured the cider mill. We had cider and donuts before we left. As you can see in the picture, Megan really enjoyed hers. When we returned to school, there was a field of pumpkins waiting for the students. Megan thought that her teacher put them there. I told her that her teacher was on the bus with us the whole time, and it is still a mystery.

The House is Shaking

Our house has been shaking for the last 3 days and is getting progressivly worse. I can feel the floor rumble and the walls shaking. I am surprised pictures have not fallen off the walls yet. It is hard to type this because my keyboard is vibrating.The crews are lowering the level of our road to prepare for the new road. The roller is one of the smaller pieces of equipment that they are using, though it is the loudest and most annoying. We have heard rumors that they may lay the road mid next week. I am read for this project to be over.
